"HEVINGHAM is a considerable village and parish, three miles S. of Aylsham, and nine miles N. by W. of Norwich, having 893 inhabitants, and 2855 acres of land, belonging mostly to Robert Marsham, and Wm. Repton, Esqrs., the former of whom is lord of the manor of Hevingham and Cats-cum-Cricketots, and the latter is lord of Hevingham-with-the-members-of-Marsham, which was anciently held by the Bishops of Norwich; one of whom, Walter de Suffield, built a palace or country seat here, in 1250, and had license for free-warren in all his demesnes. The Church (St. Botolph,) has a nave, chancel, tower, south transept, and a handsome porch. . . . The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10. 16s., has 39 acres of glebe, and a neat residence; and the tithes were commuted in 1841, for £550 per annum. The Rev. W.J. Carver is patron, and the Rev. E.R. Beevor incumbent." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Richard Johns]
